    Maybe you’ll be on the same flight! 😊

    All you can do is apply and see if approved. You have some red flags that could be a challenge, but a tourist visa denial will not negatively impact the immigrant visa outcome.

    As long as OP did not lie to CBP, there is no evidence of fraud. Only OP knows whether that occurred.

    Are you planning for her to immigrate to the US?
  5. SalishSea
    But you formally requested a withdrawal?
  6. SalishSea
    You have some red flags already, which I’m sure you’ll get feedback on here. Even with red flags, your overall process will not go faster. Whether you use a paid service or DIY.

    We only sent quarterly bank statements and quarterly joint bills. It was a slim but comprehensive packet. Approved without interview or RFE, 18 months at Nebraska. This was average processing time for that center then.

    You voluntarily shared your ‘business’ on a public forum, so expect a variety of feedback. Anyway, if it was denied in error and you have a competent attorney, it should be nothing to worry about. Hopefully you are submitting the appeal asap.

    It was probably not a great idea to adjust on a non-immigrant visa, honestly. Why didn’t he just petition you properly for an IR-1, he literally had years to do it? Also- now you are out of status and no longer in a period of authorized stay, ie subject to removal. Your EAD is also no longer valid. What does your lawyer recommend?

    OP, if you really want meaningful feedback, refusing to answer questions or expand on details isn't going to get you very far.

    They'll rightly wonder how he can afford so much time off from work, since working even remotely for a foreign employer is not permitted on ESTA.

    Surprising that you would choose not to practice medicine in your own country. Will you try to get into a US medical school?

    Perhaps you have very old info? Petitioner state of residence and service center for I-129f petitions have not been connected since at least >2015, if ever. Vermont processes a very small percentage of petitions that have certain types of criminal background (AWA). Otherwise they all are processed in California.

    Pakistanis undergo additional security checks for a few reasons. You just have to wait.

    What do you mean by ATA?

    What is the basis for transferring? You cannot "consulate shop." If you have moved to another country and have legal status there, then it is possible.
  17. SalishSea
    I would guess it could be, since GE is a way to bypass some CBP/DOS/DHS security processes, and travelling to a high risk country could compromise security. I do not know for sure.

    You cannot do that, it’s fraud. Get started on filing a petition for consular processing. Your husband will not have an immigrant visa by December. These things take some planning.
  19. SalishSea
    I get that. Most of us here have faced that, but many (like myself) went through very low fraud consulates. We still had multiple meetings and lots of time spent in person before filing. Just trying to give you advice to help with best chances for approval, given your consulate.
  20. SalishSea
    Will likely add extra time and scrutiny to your cases.

    There are countless posts here on VJ over the years by people who married and then were denied SS cards due to the SAVE issues. While it’s fine in theory, our experience here has generally been the opposite.
  22. SalishSea
    “Love to meet”? You cannot marry via the online Utah program and file a petition without meeting.
  23. SalishSea
    Expenses related to a choosing an international relationship and work time off won’t be considered by department of state in evaluating the visa application. Not even a little. Best chance for an approval is significant time spent together in person, they way a normal relationship develops.
  24. SalishSea
    If you marry on the first visit, expect scrutiny. It will look like a green card marriage.

    They do not waive naturalization interviews.
